Asura Tribulation (Complete) - 11

[Episode 6, Chapter 2: A Blessing in Disguise]
Episode 6, Chapter 2: A Blessing in Disguise . The
Eight Beauties were eight of the Twelve Enchanting Beauties; the remaining four had already been given to the leaders of the Golden Wheel and Dangyang gangs.
These eight beauties were indeed exceptionally beautiful, with fair skin and lush green hair, some slender, some plump, each draped in a thin, colorful veil, completely naked beneath. Their breasts and buttocks were a sight to behold, a feast for the eyes.
"Is that Li Xiangdong? Why does he look like a dead man?" "Strong, yes, but he doesn't move at all. How can anyone do anything with him?" "This thing is limp; can't it get hard?" The eight women surrounded the naked Li Xiangdong, chattering and shamelessly pinching and touching him.
"He shouldn't be like this. He resisted my bewitching and seductive techniques with all his might; perhaps he's tired." Xingyunzi frowned and said, "You should put in more effort." "
Sixth Brother, you're the best at bringing the dead back to life, it's up to you!" Wu Huasheng laughed loudly, his hands kneading Yao Fengzhu's bare breasts like dough.
"Then watch me!" A voluptuous woman laughed lasciviously, squatting in front of Li Xiangdong and taking his droopy penis into her mouth.
The other seven beauties also pressed their fragrant bodies against Li Xiangdong, wildly touching and groping him, creating a chaotic scene.
After leaving Xingyunzi's alchemy room, Li Xiangdong realized that he had remembered the incantations he had forgotten, which reassured him. He didn't cause any trouble and continued to play dumb. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have had to suppress his surging lust. Fortunately, he hadn't made things worse. However, he also knew that he shouldn't be hasty, so he let the women play with him woodenly, waiting for the right opportunity.
Yao Fengzhu sat nestled in Wu Huasheng's lap, her clothes mostly removed, leaving her only in white gauze underpants. Seeing Li Xiangdong being so humiliated, she felt a strange sense of pleasure, even though she knew it was all an act.
Fang Peijun sat between Xing Yunzi and Yu Guang. Initially, their actions were merely groping, so their clothes remained relatively intact. However, after Wu Huasheng removed Yao Fengzhu's pants, Yu Guang became even more brazen, tearing and ripping off her clothes until she was completely naked, like a newborn baby.
"You eat too!" Wu Huasheng, his lust raging, pressed Yao Fengzhu's head down.
Yao Fengzhu had no way to refuse, so she could only undo Wu Huasheng's pants, thinking to herself that, in terms of seniority, he was her father's relative. She couldn't believe he was so shameless. It seemed Li Xiangdong was right; the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects probably had countless shameless scoundrels like him and Zhu Yi.
"Do you know how to eat a man's penis?" "Yu Guang said, playing with Fang Peijun's crotch.
"I...I don't understand," Fang Peijun said
, swallowing her anger. "If you don't understand, then you have to learn!" Yu Guang lewdly chuckled and unzipped his pants.
"Wow...!" Liu Jiao suddenly cried out, spitting out the penis in her mouth and exclaiming as if cheering, "What a big thing!" "
Amazing...!" "This is going to be fun!" "Let me go first!" The other seven held the erect penises as if they had found a treasure, chattering incessantly.
"Why isn't he moving?" Wu Huasheng asked curiously.
"I haven't given the order yet!" Xing Yunzi smiled arrogantly and said in a deep voice, "Li Xiangdong, these beauties are all yours. Let us see how capable you are."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangdong roared and pounced on a woman like a wild beast.
****
"Let's change to another one..." "I...I've had enough!" A long-legged woman cried out through gritted teeth, pushing away Li Xiangdong.
"Ten Jiao, I'm exhausted." A big-eyed woman lying next to Li Xiangdong rolled away in fear.
"Big sister, you should still be enjoying yourself." A woman with large breasts and a small waist said, pulling at a beautiful woman with languid eyes who was still panting.
Wu Huasheng and the others had already finished. Seeing Li Xiangdong's vigorous performance, they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. They frequently groped Yao Fengzhu and Fang Peijun beside them, hoping to make a comeback.
Yao Fengzhu let Wu Huasheng rub her swollen breasts, but her jade hands protected her filthy vulva, shielding her from the intrusion of his fingers. She thought to herself that they were courting death, not satisfied after raping her once. They really deserved to die.
Wu Huasheng was utterly useless. Despite Yao Fengzhu's naturally weak constitution, he only urinated once before he was satisfied.
Yu Guang, frustrated that Fang Peijun had already done him a favor, let Xing Yunzi get there first. Just as Yu Guang was frantically trying to get what he wanted, Wu Huasheng pulled away, and Yu Guang relentlessly followed suit, finally bringing Yao Fengzhu to multiple orgasms and causing her to urinate several more times.
After venting his frustrations, Xing Yunzi still clung to Fang Peijun, seemingly wanting more, thus sparing her from being used by Wu Huasheng and his ilk.
"Can you make him stop?" Wu Huasheng asked impatiently.
"Yes, judging from his expression, even twelve beauties together probably wouldn't satisfy him," Xing Yunzi sighed. Just as he was about to cruelly order Li Xiangdong to stop, Li Xiangdong suddenly shouted, releasing his pent-up lust.
"He's lucky." "Wu Huasheng sneered, knowing that if Li Xiangdong couldn't vent his desires, he would be tormented by lust. Little did he know that Li Xiangdong wasn't lucky; he overheard the two talking and quickly used the Dragon Spitting Pearl technique of the Lustful Divine Skill to release his pent-up desire.
Although Li Xiangdong had enjoyed the battle, he secretly regretted it. It turned out that the Eight Beauties of Ecstasy's internal energy was mediocre, and he hadn't benefited much, feeling that his efforts had been wasted.
"Now that Li Xiangdong is in our hands, if we can seize the opportunity, we might be able to dominate the world in one fell swoop," Xingyunzi said, surprising everyone.
"What's your idea?" Wu Huasheng asked with great interest.
"I think we should spread the word like this, urging everyone to elect our leader as the leader of the martial arts alliance," Xingyunzi said, full of cunning.
"Isn't that a bit too hasty?" Wu Huasheng frowned. "You know, besides Li Xiangdong, we have many other obstacles." "
I want to stir up trouble and use this opportunity to see who dares to oppose the leader, so that Li Xiangdong can eliminate the dissidents for us," Xingyunzi sneered. "
Good plan, let's do as you propose," Wu Huasheng said happily.

To slay demons and monsters, Ding Ling practiced diligently day and night. During the day, she diligently studied the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and at night she practiced immortal magic. The Holy Maiden taught her everything she knew and guided her carefully, making her progress by leaps and bounds. If it weren't for the urgent letter from the head of the gang, she didn't know how long she would have practiced.
Apart from the head of the gang, no one knew that Ding Ling had gone to Tianchi alone. It was with the head of the gang's help that she knew that as long as she reached the top of Tianchi, she would be discovered by the Holy Maiden. Whether she was seen or not depended on whether the Holy Maiden was willing. Otherwise, she would not have followed the example of Cheng Men Li Xue, sincerely seeking an audience.
After learning from the Holy Maiden, Ding Ling learned that the summit of Tianchi was originally Elder Daxiong's place of cultivation. Under his magical cultivation, the surrounding hundred miles were like his own home, and outsiders were not allowed to trespass. Therefore, the Holy Maiden noticed the messenger from the head constable as soon as he arrived at Tianchi and ordered Ding Ling to go out and wait.
After reading the head constable's letter, not only Ding Ling, but even the Holy Maiden was uneasy, with a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind, unsure whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"Li Xiangdong captured? Could Wu Huasheng have done that? And who is Xingyunzi? How could he possibly defeat Li Xiangdong?" the Holy Maiden exclaimed in disbelief. "
Xingyunzi is one of the Five Demons, and he has only risen to prominence in the last twenty years. Although he is skilled in bewitching magic, he should
n't be able to defeat Li Xiangdong. I think he did it like he did with the Jinlun and Dangyang gangs, using women and exotic drugs, conspiracies and tricks, taking advantage of Li Xiangdong's arrogance to defeat and capture him." Ding Ling could be said to be incredibly insightful; even though she didn't know that Yu Guang had also betrayed them, it was almost certainly true.
"The Li Xiangdong you speak of, though a lecherous fiend, is a master of intrigue and scheming. Would he fall for a trap so easily? His martial arts and magic, even if not as good as Yuchi Yuan's, are not far off. Even if he falls for a trap, he has a way to escape. Besides, the bewitching and seductive magic of the Asura Sect, even if not as good as Xingyunzi's, is still extraordinary. Li Xiangdong won't be easily subdued," the Holy Maiden said suspiciously. "
Could it be that Wu Huasheng is deliberately creating a diversion? He sent word throughout the martial world, implying that only he can deal with Li Xiangdong and the Asura Sect, yet he brought up the matter of the martial arts alliance leader again, as if saying that if he can't become the martial arts alliance leader, Li Xiangdong will run rampant, subtly threatening him..." Ding Ling pondered. "
That's not right. If Wu Huasheng doesn't have the confidence to defeat Li Xiangdong, wouldn't he be asking for trouble by boasting like this? Moreover, this information comes from a high-ranking official. Unless the evidence is conclusive, who would dare to spread rumors and report false information?" "Ding Ling almost immediately overturned her own deduction.
'If Wu Huasheng intended to dominate the martial arts world, capturing Li Xiangdong would make his reputation soar. Why would he keep it a secret, unless...' the Holy Maiden pondered.
'Unless Wu Huasheng wants to use Li Xiangdong to eliminate dissidents!' Ding Ling said with a start, 'That's right, he must have captured him. Xingyunzi is responsible for controlling Li Xiangdong, one openly and one secretly, poisoning the martial arts world. If Li Xiangdong's capture is just a deception, then the two may be colluding with each other. In any case, a major change is imminent!'
'The possibility of them cooperating is not high. How can these selfish people trust others?' the Holy Maiden shook her head and said, 'I hope I'm overthinking it. If the whole thing is actually Li Xiangdong's conspiracy, pretending to be captured for ulterior motives, then the Pai Sect and the Jinlun Dangyang Gang are in grave danger.' '
No way...?'" "What should we do?" Ding Ling asked hesitantly. "
What do you think?" the Holy Maiden countered.
"The Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects are probably still in the dark about this. We should let them know as soon as possible so we can discuss countermeasures. We also need to inform the Chief of the Gang. We'll also have to make a trip to Guanzhong to investigate Wu Huasheng and Li Xiangdong's true intentions. I'm truly at a loss," Ding Ling said, completely bewildered.
"I don't want to get involved with the government again. It shouldn't take too long to get to the Chief of the Gang. You should go there yourself. Besides, it's on the way to Shaolin from there. You can have Dajue use the signal from the Demon-Slaying Alliance to summon the other sects to discuss countermeasures. I'll come to meet you later," the Holy Maiden said thoughtfully.
"Why doesn't the Holy Maiden go to Shaolin first?" Ding Ling asked.
"I must personally go to Guanzhong to verify the news of Li Xiangdong's capture. If he has indeed been captured, I will find an opportunity to destroy this villain and prevent Wu Huasheng from using him for evil." The Holy Maiden resolutely said, "I fear there may be more to the story, which will require considerable effort."
"Your injury...?" Ding Ling stammered, knowing that the Holy Maiden had been in seclusion to heal her injuries, and couldn't help but worry.
"I have almost recovered my former strength and am fine now." The Holy Maiden nodded.
"How about this, after we arrive at Shaolin, I will ask Abbot Dajue to send experts to Guanzhong to await the Holy Maiden's orders." Ding Ling said happily. "
Not me! New talents emerge in every generation, and new talents surpass the old. I am old; I can only serve as a foot soldier, how can I preside over the overall situation?" The Holy Maiden shook her head.
"Why do you say that, Holy Maiden? Without your leadership, how could we possibly defeat those demons and monsters?" Ding Ling exclaimed in surprise, thinking to herself that the Holy Maiden before her was as beautiful as a celestial being, like a flower in full bloom—how could she be old?
"You're mistaken. Back then, the heroes were leaderless and terrified of Yuchi Yuan, so I reluctantly took on the role. I didn't do anything special," the Holy Maiden said solemnly. "Times have changed. Don't say that I've been living in seclusion for so long and know nothing. Even in terms of intelligence and strategic planning, I can't compare to you. And if I am not Li Xiangdong's enemy, the responsibility of saving the world will fall on your shoulders."
"What virtue or ability do I possess to deserve such a great responsibility?" Ding Ling asked, unsure whether to be surprised or delighted.
"Enough talk." The Holy Maiden took out a glittering golden ring and placed it in Ding Ling's hand, saying, "This is a token given to me by the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects back then, used for issuing commands. After escaping the Demon Palace, I forgot to return it. I believe some people still recognize it." "
This... this won't do..." Ding Ling stammered, unsure what to say. She remembered her master saying that when the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects presented this ring, many of them, including her own Soft Bone Sect, implicitly intended to make the Holy Maiden their leader. Accepting it now felt like taking on a tremendous burden.
"As long as you persevere, you will definitely be able to master the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. Then, getting married, having children, will not diminish your cultivation," the Holy Maiden encouraged. "
Before eradicating these demons of the Asura Sect, I will not think about such mundane matters," Ding Ling said, blushing.
"Marriage is a fundamental human relationship, not a mundane affair." "The Holy Maiden said kindly, 'However, since you have this intention, it is a great merit. There's no need to worry unnecessarily. How old is Li Xiangdong? How can he be compared to Yuchi Yuan?'"
"Holy Maiden, you should still be careful," Ding Ling said anxiously.
"I have my own methods," the Holy Maiden nodded, continuing, "The magic I've taught you these past few days should be sufficient for self-defense and escape, unless you encounter a great demon like Yuchi Yuan. You must practice diligently."
"Yes, I will certainly not let the Holy Maiden down," Ding Ling said gratefully.
****
The Holy Maiden had no further concerns. Li Xiangdong had risked everything, pretending to take the Heart-Changing Pill and throwing himself into the lion's den, all for Xing Yunzi's bewitching and seductive techniques.
Xingyunzi's supernatural arts primarily relied on spiritual power, supplemented by demonic arts and drugs. Although not entirely the same as Li Xiangdong's soul-capturing techniques, they ultimately led to the same goal, allowing him to explore the mysteries of the soul from a different perspective.
After testing, Wu Huasheng was convinced that Li Xiangdong had been controlled by the Heart-Changing Pill, so he ignored him
and handed him over to Xingyunzi. He then busied himself discussing matters with his confidants, dreaming of becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance. In his spare time, he would lock himself in and indulge in pleasure with the two beautiful maids he had abducted. After the arrival of the two beauties, Yao Fengzhu and Fang Peijun, Bajiao was neglected and had no choice but to return to Xingyunzi to assist him in his spells.
Xingyunzi was even more confident in himself, simply confining Li Xiangdong to a room near the alchemy room, forbidding him from leaving. There were no guards, and he was not locked up; those unaware of the situation might have thought he was his guest.
Because the art of bewitching and inducing sexual dysfunction required a great deal of mental and physical exertion, Xingyunzi would enter Li Xiangdong's room to perform the ritual in the morning when his energy was at its peak. In the afternoon, he would also devise plans for Wu Huasheng, often leaving him utterly exhausted. Usually, after dinner, he would go to bed and sleep soundly until dawn.
Despite his exhaustion, Xingyunzi was full of confidence. After seven days of hard work, Li Xiangdong had largely lost his autonomy and was completely at his mercy. He believed that in another three to five days, this great demon who had caused such widespread panic would be entirely under his control.
Xingyunzi was quite disappointed that the treasures he received from Li Xiangdong were completely useless. According to Li Xiangdong's confession, these were indeed rare treasures of the Asura realm: the small sword was the Azure Dragon Sword, the short staff was the Black Tortoise Staff, and there was also the coveted Soul-Locking Banner of Lust—all rare treasures and extraordinary weapons whose size could be controlled at will. Unfortunately, he was no longer a virgin and could not cultivate from scratch. Leaving them with Li Xiangdong would have been more useful, so he had no choice but to return them with a heavy heart. Little did he know that Li Xiangdong's words were half true and half false, leaving Xingyunzi feeling like he had entered a treasure mountain and returned empty-handed, having missed out on countless good things.
Li Xiangdong not only got his things back, but many problems that had troubled him for years were also solved, making him convinced that he had found the key to bewitching souls, and he only needed to put it to the test.
The subjects of the test were the Eight Beauties, or rather, the ones they had asked for themselves.
These eight alluring women, still longing for Li Xiangdong's bravery and skill in battle, ostensibly returned to help Xingyunzi with his magic, but in reality, they hoped to experience the exotic pleasures again. After discovering that Xingyunzi slept soundly as if dead every night, they became unrestrained, visiting him like people going to a brothel, seeking pleasure and seeking gratification.
Li Xiangdong, with his insatiable lust, couldn't live without women every night. Now, here and now, a tempting prey was delivered right to his lips, and he was naturally overjoyed, indulging in it without restraint. Little did he know that Bajiao believed he was already subjugated, no different from a moving human toy. Thus, she made numerous demands and requests, infuriating this villain who took pleasure in trampling on women. However, seduction was too important, and he had no choice but to feign compliance and endure the humiliation.
Yao Fengzhu and Fang Peijun, who became Wu Huasheng's chamber pots, led a quiet and peaceful life, occasionally feeling bored and dull.
The two women didn't have to work during the day. For the first two days, they would sneak into Wu Huasheng's study to gather intelligence when he was away. Later, with nothing much to do, they would report to Li Xiangdong regularly and then sit idly in their rooms waiting for Wu Huasheng's return.
Wu Huasheng, being quite old, was often willing but unable. He was more prone to physical intimacy than actual combat, and even when he did manage a brief encounter, he would crumble at the slightest touch. Compared to the two women's experiences, he was nothing special.
Fang Peijun was alright, but Yao Fengzhu sometimes found herself in a state of limbo, as if unsatisfied, and couldn't help but think of her time with other men, even longing to return to Li Xiangdong's side.
Yao Fengzhu was naturally weak in bed. She remembered Li Xiangdong saying that even a seventy-year-old man could bring her to multiple orgasms and satisfy her lust. Unfortunately, Wu Huasheng was too weak, and she was used to being bullied and tormented by men, taking it for granted. This inevitably led to an unprecedented hunger.
In the dead of night, Yao Fengzhu would recall Li Xiangdong's words, becoming increasingly convinced that she was inherently promiscuous. Without the suppression of traditional morality, even if she didn't end up in a brothel, she wouldn't be able to uphold traditional womanly virtues.
Another day passed. Li Xiangdong, having rested and recuperated, prepared to act. He revisited his improved, bewitching spell, convinced it was flawless, before leaning back on the bed, satisfied, considering how to test it.
Although the Eight Beauties were insatiable, they feared exhausting Li Xiangdong and incurring Xingyunzi's wrath. Therefore, they arranged for the eight to be divided into four groups, two per night, taking turns. Tonight, it would be the Third and Fourth Beauties.
The Third Beauties, though wanton, were clean and hated sucking men's penises. The Fourth Beauties were bold and outspoken, each with obvious flaws; reforming them should be a piece of cake.
Here they came!
The two women wore light red and pale purple silk nightgowns, tied with matching sashes. Their breasts were heaving, undulating gracefully. Underneath, there seemed to be nothing, yet they were still alluring and naturally fragrant.
"Have you taken a bath?" the Third Beauties asked, wrinkling her nose.
"Yes." "Li Xiangdong stood obediently by the bedside like a lamb, answering respectfully.
This was Xingyunzi's doing. First, he used the Heart-Changing Pill to suppress Li Xiangdong's three souls and seven spirits, turning him into a mindless walking corpse who obeyed orders. Then, he used spiritual power to gradually erase the rebellious and rebellious evil in his soul and spirit, and also to wash away some of his memories. Only after the great work was completed could the poison of the Heart-Changing Pill be removed. At that time, although Li Xiangdong's temperament returned to its old state, he had no subjective thoughts and would only do his best to serve him.
At this moment, he was still in the process of being reformed. The effects of the Heart-Changing Pill had not yet worn off, and his innate nature was still suppressed
. He only had the memories of these few days. Apart from instinct, he was like a newborn baby, knowing nothing and being manipulated by others. "Your smell is not good. You need to wash more thoroughly in the future," Sanjiao said coldly.
"This is a man's smell. There's nothing wrong with it," Sijiao said arguingly.
"Everyone says men smell bad. Aren't men smelly?" Sanjiao retorted.
"If it really smelled bad, would you let him touch you?" Si Jiao giggled, taking off her nightgown and glaring at Li Xiangdong. "Aren't you going to take off your clothes?" "
It wasn't him touching me, it was me touching him!" San Jiao also undressed herself.
"Then don't let him touch you, touch me instead." Si Jiao climbed onto the brocade couch, her jade body lying horizontally. "Give me a good touch, be gentle and refined, and don't you dare dig down there. If you hurt me, I'll cut off your penis to have with my wine." "
If I cut it off, even if you're willing to eat it, the rest of them won't let you off the hook." San Jiao placed her nightgown on the bench and sneered.
"Why wouldn't I eat it? I'm afraid you won't let me off the hook." Si Jiao said with a sheepish smile. "
So soft, how can you serve us?" San Jiao walked to Li Xiangdong, who was already naked, and asked, seemingly dissatisfied, as she pulled on his limp penis.
"Give him a taste," Si Jiao said with a smile.
"Why do we always have to eat men's? Can't they eat us?" San Jiao snorted coldly, hugging Li Xiangdong's waist and rubbing her slender waist against his lower abdomen.
"Fine, just tell him," Si Jiao said with a sly smile.
"If it weren't for Lao Qi biting him, I would have made sure he ate it!" San Jiao said, hugging Li Xiangdong tightly as if in heat.
This happened a few days ago. That night, Qi Jiao suddenly went crazy, forcibly pressing her genitals against Li Xiangdong's face, demanding that the man perform oral sex on her. Li Xiangdong was furious and bit her hard, causing her to cry and throw a tantrum.
"He suddenly went crazy, didn't that little hussy tell Master?" Si Jiao asked curiously.
"Of course she did! She even begged Master to reform him," San Jiao said with a smile.
"What did Master say?" Si Jiao asked curiously.
"Master said he's already exhausted from trying to change his mind, he doesn't have time to waste energy on these trivial things, so he didn't agree." Sanjiao noticed Li Xiangdong's penis was starting to harden and happily pulled him onto the bed.
"What a pity." Sijiao climbed over and caressed Li Xiangdong's strong body, saying, "Then you can't ride on his head."
Li Xiangdong secretly felt lucky. If Xingyunzi had agreed, he hadn't yet grasped the mysteries of the soul and might have been forced to continue pretending, and who knows how many stinking holes he would have had to eat.
"Riding on him is the same!" Sanjiao pushed Li Xiangdong down, straddled him, and rubbed his erect penis against her vulva a few times before sitting down.
"You got there first again!" Sijiao scolded, climbing on Li Xiangdong's head and pressing her large breasts against his mouth, scolding, "Why are you acting like a silly goose? Drink your milk, don't bite!"
"Touch my breasts too..." "The three beauties moaned wantonly, the giant's penis seemingly filling their weathered orifices, the bliss and comfort indescribable.
Li Xiangdong had no time to care, sucking on the date-like nipples in his mouth, his hands greedily groping the two beauties' bodies, chanting incantations in his mind, and beginning to use his bewitching magic. The
modified bewitching magic was mainly based on magic, supplemented by internal energy, intricate and ever-changing, impossible to explain clearly. The two women were busy pursuing carnal pleasure and could not notice.
"Harder... Ah... Third brother... Are you done yet... I want it too... Dig me... Dig me!" As time passed, the fourth beauties could not bear the torment of lust, and buried her face in Li Xiangdong's belly, sniffing and kissing, as if to help the three beauties reach ecstasy sooner.
"Almost there... Ah... Good... So good... Don't rush me... Almost there...!" Sanjiao
cried out as she vigorously masturbated.
At this moment, Li Xiangdong's seductive attack was almost complete. He snorted coldly and unleashed his erotic power, shooting his semen deep into Sanjiao's body.
"Ah... It's coming... I'm coming...!" Sanjiao suddenly cried out, twisting her waist wildly as she reached her climax.
"My turn... Get off... I want it!" Sijiao said anxiously, moving Sanjiao's body off Li Xiangdong.
Without hesitation, Li Xiangdong extended his palms and struck the tops of both women's heads.
The two women felt a warm current rush into their heads, making their minds dizzy. They both let out a soft moan and lost consciousness.
＊＊＊＊
The two women woke up, bewildered and lost, yet unsure of what they had lost, as if they had forgotten they had ever been unconscious. They lay awkwardly on top of Li Xiangdong, unsure what to do.
"Have you had enough? Want more?" Li Xiangdong asked with a smile.
"No... I want more...!" "No... it's my turn...!" The third woman hadn't been truly satisfied, and the fourth woman was burning with desire, and they began to argue.
"Arguing is useless, I can't take it anymore," Li Xiangdong said mischievously.
"How could this be...?" The third woman noticed Li Xiangdong's dejected state and quickly rolled off, anxiously playing with his wet penis.
"I'll eat... just let me have a taste..." The fourth woman was even more eager, getting up and crawling under Li Xiangdong.
"I want to eat too..." "Upon hearing this, Sanjiao seemed to wake from a dream, immediately sticking out her tongue and eagerly licking the filthy penis.
"Aren't you afraid of getting dirty?" Sijiao had never seen Sanjiao willingly perform oral sex for a man, and she was surprised and asked in astonishment.
"Not dirty... Mmm... Delicious... So delicious!" Sanjiao said with relish.
"My asshole tastes even better, why don't you eat it?!" Li Xiangdong raised his hairy leg and said.
"Eat... I'll eat it!" Sanjiao gasped for breath and pressed her face against Li Xiangdong's crotch.
Sijiao knew that Sanjiao was very clean, and even if she had to eat a man's penis, it was just for show. Seeing her tongue moving back and forth in that orifice that she herself would find disgusting, licking and sucking with relish, she couldn't believe it.
"There seem to be footsteps outside, will someone come in?" Li Xiangdong reached out and played with Sijiao's breasts.
"How could someone..." Si Jiao agreed, then said fearfully, "Third sister, could it be Master?" "
So what if it's Master? Are you afraid of him?" This time it was San Jiao's turn to be puzzled.
"How could I not be afraid? He might kill us." Si Jiao said, her heart pounding.
"Nonsense, how could he kill us?" San Jiao scolded, "If he can't finish his food, does he want to starve us? That's what you said too." "
Yes... I did say that..." Si Jiao didn't understand why she wasn't afraid then.
"Enough about him, let me give you a quick death." Li Xiangdong laughed loudly.
****
Li Xiangdong listened with great joy to the receding footsteps of the two women, wishing he could burst into laughter, because their personalities had changed drastically, and his painstakingly practiced bewitching techniques had finally yielded results.
The three beauties, known for their purity and cleanliness, not only ate his penis but also licked his genitals clean afterwards. The fourth beauty had become timid and cowardly, no longer as fierce and strong-willed as before. Unfortunately, the memory and restraint of Xingyunzi in their hearts couldn't be erased at this moment, and Li Xiangdong didn't want to waste any more effort; otherwise, he could have persuaded them to abandon their evil ways and work for him.
Besides Li Xiangdong, no one in the world knew how important the power of soul-capturing was to him. Without it, no amount of achievement would be meaningful.
Since he had developed thoughts, Li Xiangdong had a wish in his heart, and the ability to captivate souls was key to achieving this wish.
Next, he needed to capture the Old Poison Dragon. Perhaps only he knew the man's whereabouts, which was why Li Xiangdong had repeatedly sought out the Poison Dragon Master without killing him.
Now, the Old Poison Dragon couldn't escape. Li Xiangdong had Wang Jie scout the road to Yucheng, intending to mobilize the invincible divine soldiers to capture him on the day of the Heavenly Demon Festival.
Most importantly, of course, the man had to be alive!
That person wasn't old yet; he should still be alive. Even if he was dead, Li Xiangdong would find his burial place, grind his bones to dust, and only then could he quell his hatred!
Avenging Yu Chi Yuan and eliminating the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects were all matters of the Asura Sect, unrelated to Li Xiangdong, but far less important than achieving this goal.
Thinking that he had successfully taken the first step on the path of revenge, Li Xiangdong couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. He felt full of energy. Seeing that the time was almost up, he fetched a basin of water and used his telepathic magic.
Wu Huasheng was indeed asleep, but Yao Fengzhu and Fang Peijun were sleeping on the floor like maids from a wealthy family. Knowing they wouldn't be serving him tonight, and seeing the two women still staring blankly, he smiled proudly and used telepathy.
"I'm here now. When I send the signal, Peijun, pretend to have a stomachache and go to the toilet. If you wake Wu Huasheng, Fengzhu will keep him occupied so I can take you away," Li Xiangdong said.
Although a master like Wu Huasheng could easily wake up from his sleep, the two women, under Li Xiangdong's instructions, had often gotten up in the middle of the night to relieve themselves these past few days, which he had grown accustomed to and wouldn't suspect anything amiss.
"Yes," the two women replied, their bodies jolting slightly.
"Peijun, after leaving the Pai Sect headquarters, you will walk west alone along the official road. Wang Jie and Hongdie have already brought the Iron Corpse and are waiting for you about thirty li west," Li Xiangdong continued. "Meiji and Shanjun should arrive the day after tomorrow. We'll tentatively make our move on the night of the full moon. You must await their orders." "
Yes," Fang Peijun nodded, knowing that with Li Xiangdong's protection, she should be able to escape the Pai Sect headquarters without incident.
"And what about your disciple?" Yao Fengzhu asked.
"You and I will remain here. I will issue instructions to make them pay," Li Xiangdong grinned maliciously.
The two women realized that Li Xiangdong was about to unleash another massacre. As the strategist of the sect,
Xingyunzi
was truly overwhelmed!
First, a few days ago, one of Li Xiangdong's maids suddenly went missing in the middle of the night, infuriating Wu Huasheng, who berated him and ordered a redeployment of the headquarters' guards.
Fortunately, the maid slept with Wu Huasheng, and the other maid was unharmed, so it seemed to be an isolated incident, nothing serious. Only the pursuit intensified, and Wu Huasheng didn't punish her severely. Then, Wu Jiao and Liu Jiao inexplicably suffered a sexual lapse. Two days ago, when Xingyunzi was using magic on Li Xiangdong, they barged in, embracing him and begging for his company. After being driven out, they then engaged in lewd acts with several sect members in broad daylight. The only solution was to lock the two women up and send them to a doctor.
Before the cause of their lapse could be determined, yesterday Jiu Jiao and Shi Jiao killed someone with a knife. After all that commotion, they too had to be locked up.
The most troublesome thing was the sudden news that the secret of both gang leaders being bewitched by Xing Yunzi had spread widely within their respective gangs. The elders of the Jinlun Gang resolutely placed their leader under house arrest, and the two undercover members, Eleven and Twelve, were simultaneously assassinated. Meanwhile, some members of the Dangyang Gang openly opposed merging with the Pai Sect.
Just now, they received urgent reports from Seven and Eight: several of the Dangyang Gang's most vehement opponents of the merger believed they should strike at the root of the problem and, risking their lives, had secretly traveled to Guanzhong some time ago with a specific plan, expected to arrive within days.
Wu Huasheng, Xing Yunzi, and their trusted confidants discussed the matter for a long time and decided to merge with the Dangyang Gang as soon as possible, then develop Li Xiangdong as a secret weapon to deal with the Jinlun Gang, lest things get complicated.
After making their decision, they also received news that the Dangyang Gang had entered the city. Wu Huasheng hardened his heart and ordered a trap to be set—ostensibly a welcome feast, but in reality, to wipe them out.
Almost all of these events were arranged by Li Xiangdong.
The Fifth and Sixth Beauties went mad, and the Ninth and Tenth Beauties committed murder, all because they were bewitched by the allure of seduction. The other four Beauties were also secretly plotted against, but the changes haven't yet become apparent.
The Jinlun and Dangyang gangs learned that their leader was plotting against Xingyunzi because Li Xiangdong had sent an undercover agent to spread the news. After the Jinyang gang reacted decisively, Baishan Jun also killed the Eleventh and Twelfth Beauties who fled upon hearing the news.
The seven or eight beauties of the Dangyang Gang, being rather clever, sensed something was amiss and, without consulting their superiors, made arrangements through their controlled gang leader. Several ostracized hall masters, having no opportunity to exploit the situation, were misled by an undercover agent from the Shura Cult into believing Wu Huasheng was also controlled by Xingyunzi. They then secretly traveled to Guanzhong, intending to persuade key members of the Shura Cult to join forces against Xingyunzi.
Hearing that Wu Huasheng's trap was also on the night of the full moon, Li Xiangdong secretly rejoiced, thinking that heaven was on his side. That day, after Xingyunzi finished his ritual, he pretended to be completely controlled, allowing Li Xiangdong to focus on preparing for the night's trap, while he himself took the opportunity to assign tasks to everyone. The members of the
Dangyang
Gang knew perfectly well that such a trap was no joke, but their plans had already been exposed, and there was no way to avoid it. They had no choice but to go, concealing weapons on their person, prepared for any eventuality.
Wu Huasheng, impatient with further words, revealed his true, sinister nature after a few rounds of drinks, bluntly stating that the merger of the two gangs was imperative and demanding that the Dangyang Gang representative swear allegiance.
"Don't you know what's good for you? Let me bring out someone to help you think things through," Wu Huasheng sneered, seeing the Dangyang Gang representative's changing expression.
Xingyunzi clapped his hands, and Li Xiangdong, dressed in a blue outfit and exuding confidence, strode out from behind the hall.
"Do you know who he is?" Wu Huasheng said coldly, "This man is Li Xiangdong, the leader of the Asura Sect, and now also a protector of our sect. Can you defeat him?"
"Li Xiangdong...?!" The Dangyang Gang representative was an important figure in the gang and naturally had heard of Li Xiangdong's name.
"That's right, I am Li Xiangdong!" Li Xiangdong said proudly.
"Here are a few cups of medicinal wine, a slow-acting poison I've carefully concocted for you. After you drink it, you can all go home safely," Xingyunzi said, as if he had the group completely under his thumb. "
Wu Huasheng, the Pai Cult is one of the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects, considered a righteous sect in the martial arts world.
How dare they collude with demons?" the Dangyang group exclaimed in shock. "Great men don't concern themselves with trifles. What can't we do?" Wu Huasheng laughed loudly. "Everyone, come out!"
Xingyunzi clapped his hands, and countless burly men wielding weapons and bows surged out from around the banquet, surrounding the Dangyang group.
"Do you still care about the rules of the martial arts world...?!" The Dangyang gang members suddenly stood up, drawing their weapons and shouting, seemingly determined to fight.
"Talking to me about the rules of the martial arts world? Fine, if any of you can beat Li Xiangdong, then go ahead and leave," Wu Huasheng sneered.
Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted from behind the encirclement, followed by a gap in the crowd. Wu Jiao and Liu Jiao burst out , running
through the throng. "Li Xiangdong, where are you?" The two women, their faces flushed, hair disheveled, and clothes in disarray, shouted wildly. Seeing Li Xiangdong, they cheered and pounced on him, clinging to him and yelling, "Give it to me... I want you!"
"What do you want?" Li Xiangdong didn't resist or dodge, chuckling strangely as he continued to grope the two women.
"Fifth and Sixth, stop going crazy, go back!" Da Jiao and Er Jiao, who had been chasing after the two women, were shocked and rushed over to stop them.
"Who let them out?" Xing Yunzi demanded angrily.
"I don't know..." the two women said frantically, pulling at the two women who were acting like rabid wolves.
"Why aren't you controlling their pressure points?!" Wu Huasheng roared.
Xingyunzi's martial arts were also remarkable. With a flick of his fingers, he unleashed two bursts of wind, instantly paralyzing the pressure points of Wujiao and Liujiao. However, the two women's hands and feet remained tightly entangled around Li Xiangdong's body, requiring Dajiao and Erjiao to untie them.
The Dangyang group had considered breaking through in the chaos, but the encirclement was impenetrable. A forced breakthrough would surely result in them being hacked to pieces. They had no choice but to endure and wait for an opportunity.
However, no sooner had one wave subsided than another arose. Just as they had captured the two women, someone stormed in from outside, shouting angrily, "Master... Master!"
"What is it?" Wu Huasheng demanded, recognizing the newcomer as one of their leaders.
"Many people have attacked from the west, and a battle has already begun," the leader of the Pai Sect cried out urgently.
"Who are they? How many are they?" "Xingyunzi pressed, suspecting it was an ambush by the Dangyang people, but he wasn't too worried. This was the headquarters of the Pai Sect, far from the city, but with a large number of followers, even the government troops wouldn't dare to attack lightly.
"It seems there are five or six hundred..." the Pai Sect leader said, panting.
At this moment, everyone heard the sounds of fighting outside. While the others were unfazed, Wu Huasheng and Xingyunzi were greatly alarmed. They hadn't expected the invading enemy to be so formidable; their own followers seemed to have collapsed at the first touch, breaking through in just a moment.
"Let's go out and see!" Wu Huasheng said in a deep voice.
Xingyunzi waved his hand, and dozens of archers drew their bows and surrounded several hesitant Dangyang experts. Then, he and Li Xiangdong led the others, surrounding Wu Huasheng, and stepped outside.
Outside, the sounds of battle were deafening. Hundreds of beast-headed, human-bodied thugs clad in iron armor were slaughtering the hastily assembled Pai Sect members, who were scattering in terror and screams.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that not all of these thugs were attacking; over a hundred more had formed a square formation, seemingly protecting someone, and were advancing towards Wu Huasheng and his group.
Seeing Wu Huasheng and his companions appear, the already routed Pai Sect members fled behind them. Xingyunzi promptly ordered his accompanying archers to fire arrows to reinforce the formation. Although they couldn't injure many of the armored thugs, they managed to halt their fierce offensive.
The two groups faced each other. Wu Huasheng, assessing his own superior numbers and the many reinforcements arriving from all directions, subtly surrounding the enemy, felt reassured and roared, "Who are you?"
"Are you Wu Huasheng of the Pai Sect?" A middle-aged man with hazy white eyes and a fierce-looking burly man stepped out of the formation one after the other. The middle-aged man said coldly, "I am Wang Jie, along with Bai Shanjun and the Heavenly Fox Demoness..."
"I'm here..." Meiji stepped forward with a gentle breeze, walking proudly to the front of the formation.
The moon was bright that night, its clear light illuminating the surroundings like daytime, making Meiji's sexy and revealing silver-blue battle dress even more alluring. The two triangular pieces of cloth on her chest had already stunned everyone, and her shockingly short skirt made their eyes burn with desire. The silver-white fox tail standing erect behind her buttocks no longer seemed so eerie.
"Don't forget me, the Three Wonderful Demoness..." Hongdie laughed like a silver bell, walking gracefully to Meiji's left.
Despite it being her first time wearing her battle suit, Red Butterfly showed no stage fright. She deliberately puffed out her chest, tucked in her stomach, and swayed her hips. The thin, vest-like suit made her pink breasts bounce gracefully, and her long,
fair legs occasionally peeked out from the sides of her emerald green floor-length skirt, making everyone's mouths dry and their breath catch. "I...I am the Zombie Witch..." Fang Peijun also arrived, her pink face, adorned with a witch's mask, almost pressed against her erect breasts. She hesitated, taking each step with trepidation, causing everyone to stare, eyes glued to her. Few noticed the dark-skinned, burly man in black behind her.
It's no wonder everyone's attention was completely focused on Fang Peijun; her battle suit was no less impressive than that of Meiji and Red Butterfly—it was simply astonishing.
It was a pale yellow embroidered palace dress. From the side, the long skirt trailed on the ground, and the sleeves fluttered. At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, no one could help but be astonished. It was believed that no girl in the world, except her, would dare to wear such a dress. Fang
Peijun's palace dress was only half-length, as if it had been cut off in the middle. The left side was neat and tidy, while the right side was completely bare, half of her body was completely naked. Her fragrant shoulders and pink arms were exposed to the air, and her plump pink breasts were also smooth and naked for all to see. The most striking thing, of course, was her pink leg, which was completely bare from the top of her thigh.
Although not clearly visible from a distance, her abdomen was smooth and flat without a single wrinkle, her thighs were full and plump without any excess fat, her calves were long and slender, and her ankles were delicate—beautiful in every way. Unfortunately, the silk used to hold the two garments together was wrapped around her waist, intentionally or unintentionally concealing that mysterious area, preventing a full view.
Although the three women wore ferocious and terrifying masks, their shocking and blood-boiling attire highlighted their three vibrant, alluring bodies. Many people momentarily forgot they were on the battlefield, and some even lowered their weapons.
"What do you want?" Wu Huasheng, being a powerful leader, possessed far greater composure than the others, and shouted coldly.
"Wang Jie, it's the fake blind Wang Jie! Didn't you join the Asura Cult?" Xingyunzi was shocked, quickly glancing at Li Xiangdong. Seeing that he remained calm, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, I am the Right Attendant, and Shan Jun is the Left Attendant. We, along with a few others, have led invincible divine soldiers to welcome our sect's leader," Wang Jie said with a sly smile.
"Is it Li Xiangdong?" Xing Yunzi laughed loudly, "He is already a protector of the Pai Sect."
"Nonsense! Our sect's leader is of noble status; how could he possibly stoop to such a position? You're delusional!" Bai Shan Jun sneered.
"You don't believe me?" Xing Yunzi sneered, "Li Xiangdong, tell them." "
Tell them what? Tell them that I've been well-fed and well-dressed these past few days, and that you even sent two of your disciples to serve me every night?" Li Xiangdong, with his hands behind his back, strolled leisurely to the front of the formation, turned to face Xing Yunzi, and said, "To be honest, your disciples are too incompetent; they can't compare to my girl." "
Li Xiangdong!" Xingyunzi inwardly cried out in alarm, staring defiantly at Li Xiangdong, and said in a deep voice, "Look at me!" "
What's there to look at? Look at my girl instead!" Li Xiangdong laughed heartily, neither dodging nor yielding, a strange glint in his eyes as he glared at Xingyunzi.
At this moment, Wu Huasheng also realized something had gone wrong. He hurriedly ordered his men to rearrange their formation and simultaneously summon reinforcements. Seeing Xingyunzi's solemn expression and the eye contact between him and Li Xiangdong, he understood that Xingyunzi had once again used his bewitching and seductive techniques. If he still couldn't make Li Xiangdong submit, then it would be time for a bloody battle.
Xingyunzi initially thought that Li Xiangdong had been stimulated by something, causing his thoughts to become chaotic, which was why he hadn't obeyed orders. He assumed it wouldn't be difficult to control him again. However, when he met Li Xiangdong's gaze, he realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.
Li Xiangdong was completely unaffected by the bewitching illusion. Those two sharp gazes seemed to pierce right into his heart, clearly indicating a master of this art. He couldn't understand where the flaw lay, but he had no time to investigate now. He could only quickly create seven crystal balls, hoping to regain the upper hand.
Now, Li Xiangdong had grasped the mysteries of the soul; he was no longer the naive man he once was. Seeing this, he secretly chuckled and vigorously activated his newly acquired spiritual power to launch a counterattack, surprisingly using offense as defense.
In reality, Li Xiangdong had been too arrogant, believing he knew Xingyunzi's true strength and weakness and intending to embarrass him in public. He hadn't expected Xingyunzi to be such a master of this art, not someone easily defeated. His plan backfired, and he almost suffered a major setback. Xingyunzi
exerted all his strength; his strange eyes, shining through the crystal balls, became fourteen bright beams, yet still couldn't penetrate Li Xiangdong's soul. Instead, they left Li Xiangdong shaken and realizing the battle was extremely dangerous. It seemed he would have to use his trump card.
Although Wu Huasheng didn't understand the art of bewitching, he had known Xingyunzi for years and was aware of its taboos. Eager to help him resolve Li Xiangdong's situation quickly, he immediately gave the order.
Xingyunzi noticed that Li Xiangdong's mental power was growing stronger, enough to rival his own. Without hesitation, he focused his mind, and the seven crystal balls stacked in his hands suddenly bounced upwards, colliding with each other with a crisp sound.
Almost simultaneously, two figures leaped from the array, swooping down like birds towards the focused Li Xiangdong.
The sound of the colliding crystal balls eased Li Xiangdong's mind. He caught sight of Wu Jiao and Liu Jiao approaching out of the corner of his eye. He coldly snorted, waved his hand, and watched them fall to the ground with a muffled groan.
Seeing the two women fall, Xingyunzi was not surprised but delighted. He waved his hands repeatedly, and the crystal balls in his palms immediately flew through the air, spinning rapidly before Li Xiangdong's eyes.
The Asura Formation was full of confidence in Li Xiangdong, believing him to be invincible. They were unprepared for the trickery of the Pai Sect, and the rapid-fire attacks left them no time to react, only able to curse. Seeing Li Xiangdong already back to his usual self, calmly amidst the flying crystal balls, they assumed he was unharmed and wouldn't bother to attack. Little did
they know that Li Xiangdong was secretly suffering. Wu Huasheng's move had successfully distracted him, and coincidentally, Xingyunzi simultaneously unleashed his ultimate technique. Caught off guard, Xingyunzi seized the opportunity, putting Li Xiangdong completely on the defensive.
Despite using the incredibly powerful and mentally taxing Seven Star Linked Strike, Xingyunzi knew he had little hope of regaining control of Li Xiangdong's mind. Unable to suppress his malice, he decided to gamble everything and kill him.
Li Xiangdong also understood that continuing would not only be time-consuming and disastrous but also drain his energy. Recognizing his superior strength and the lack of powerful opponents, he activated his demonic arts, deciding to end the battle quickly.
Xingyunzi made his move. The crystal balls that had been spinning in the air suddenly coalesced, emitting a blinding light that enveloped Li Xiangdong's head and face. Just as he was momentarily stunned, the seven crystal balls exploded, striking seven vital acupoints on Li Xiangdong's upper body.
In the blink of an eye, no one saw what happened. Xingyunzi screamed, spitting blood, staggering backward before collapsing to the ground.
Meanwhile, the crystal balls that had struck Li Xiangdong shattered, while he stood unharmed, coldly watching Wu Huasheng's shocked expression. It was clear that Li Xiangdong had won this battle.

[Episode 6, Chapter 3: Mutual Destruction]
Episode 6, Chapter 3: Mutual Destruction
"Wu Huasheng, now it's time for me to settle accounts with you!" Li Xiangdong took a deep breath and said grimly.
"Li Xiangdong, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Wu Huasheng said, his voice laced with bravado, as he waved for his men to carry away Xingyunzi, whose fate was uncertain, along with Wu Jiao and Liu Jiao, whose pressure points had been restrained by Li Xiangdong.
"Just you wait and see. Let me deal with this traitor of our sect before sending you on your way." Li Xiangdong's eyes flashed with malice as he said, "Yu Guang, come out!"
"I... I am the vice leader of the Pai Sect, how could I... how could I be a traitor of the Shura Sect?" Yu Guang dared not fight back, hiding within the Pai Sect's formation, and stammered.
"Do you still remember the Yuanming Heart Lamp of our sect?" Li Xiangdong asked, unwilling to accept defeat.
"What Yuanming Heart Lamp? I don't understand what you're talking about," Yu Guang retorted.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I can still throw you into the Prison of Lewdness." Seeing Yu Guang's confident words, Li Xiangdong finally believed that Xingyunzi had erased his memory. He grinned maliciously, flicked his finger, and Yu Guang, who was far away from him, let out a wild cry and immediately collapsed to the ground.
"Vice Leader..." The Pai Sect members beside Yu Guang hurriedly helped him up, only to find that he had already stopped breathing. They
couldn't help but cry out, "Dead...the Vice Leader is dead!"
"Li Xiangdong, what kind of sorcery did you use?" Wu Huasheng was shocked and produced the Demon-Subduing Handkerchief that someone had brought.
"Yu Guang once offered his Life Lamp and swore allegiance to our sect. Since he dared to betray us, I no longer need his Life Lamp." Li Xiangdong said this as if to show off, and this move also had the intention of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, letting the Shura people know his power.
"Traitors should naturally die." Bai Shanjun said as if to confess his feelings.
"Those who oppose our sect are the same!" Wang Jie interjected.
"Wu Huasheng, did you hear that?" Li Xiangdong stared at Wu Huasheng and said with a sly smile.
"Nonsense! As long as the Pai Sect lives, how can you monsters run rampant!" Wu Huasheng shouted loudly, seeing his forces growing larger and larger, ready to overwhelm the few.
"You're courting death..." Before Li Xiangdong could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out among the Pai Sect members near the left flank of the Asura Sect. Screams of agony rose and fell, and some brandished swords, striking at the air and the ground.
"What's going on?" Wu Huasheng roared.
"Snakes..." "Ouch... ants... they've bitten me to death!" "Poisonous creatures!" The Pai Sect members cried out in agony, their formation in complete disarray.
"Kill!" Li Xiangdong knew that Hongdie had acted on his orders, so he gave the order to attack.
It turned out that when Li Xiangdong killed Yu Guang, he had simultaneously ordered Hongdie to release fire ants and iron-armored peach blossom snakes using the Three Wonders Divine Power. These poisonous creatures silently infiltrated the Pai Sect formation and began to attack.
"Everyone, charge! Kill all these demons!" Wu Huasheng, caught in a bind, had no time to hesitate. With a shout, he used his protective handkerchief and, along with several experts from his sect, charged towards Li Xiangdong. A bloody battle ensued.
The Pai Sect outnumbered the Shura Sect by at least three or four times, and included many skilled fighters. Everyone fought fiercely to protect their headquarters, making their momentum formidable. In the Shura formation, Tie Shi led the charge, cutting down the most numerous enemies. Under the command of Wang Jie and Bai Shanjun, the Invincible Divine Soldiers split into several groups to meet the enemy. Although outnumbered, they were fearless and protected by iron armor, making them difficult to injure. Like tigers unleashed, they were unstoppable.
Mei Ji, relying on her unparalleled lightness skill, moved like the wind, chasing after the Pai Sect leaders. She struck and retreated, avoiding direct combat, making her attacks unpredictable.
Red Butterfly didn't participate in the fighting; she merely followed behind a group of demon soldiers, seemingly overseeing the battle. However, wherever her petals passed, poisonous insects littered the ground, and many Pai Sect warriors were inexplicably injured by them, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.
Fang Peijun's task was to command Iron Corpse, but she didn't need to lift a finger. Ever since Li Xiangdong uttered the word "kill," Iron Corpse had been charging around on its own, requiring no her attention. She was happy to relax, following Iron Corpse's movements through the enemy ranks, and didn't intend to intervene unless absolutely necessary to avoid harming innocent bystanders.
Li Xiangdong fought Wu Huasheng and several other experts alone, pointing east and west with imposing presence, seemingly relaxed and composed, as if he wasn't using his full strength. This made Wu Huasheng tremble with fear, hesitant to advance rashly.
The Pai Sect had the advantage of numbers, advancing wave after wave, while the demon soldiers, with their bravery, gained the upper hand, inflicting many casualties. The battle intensified, and for a time, the outcome remained uncertain.
Iron Corpse was ferocious and powerful; anyone who encountered him was either killed or seriously injured. With the daringly dressed Fang Peijun following him on either side, it was particularly conspicuous. After the Pai Sect wounded seventeen experts, they were finally able to surround Iron Corpse with heavy weapons like spears and halberds, temporarily stopping his rampage.
Although Fang Peijun still didn't need to intervene, the demon army around her was dwindling, indicating that close combat with the enemy would soon follow.
Meiji was also surrounded; her attackers were skilled, having already hit her twice. Fortunately, her armor was impervious to blades and spears, allowing her to inflict wounds on the enemy. However, she couldn't be as triumphant as she had been at the beginning.
Red Butterfly was also forced to act. Someone had noticed that every now and then, several strange snakes would emerge from under her skirt, or a swarm of poisonous ants would fly out. Realizing she was using demonic magic to harm people, they frequently attacked her with arrows and hidden weapons. Although Red Butterfly remained unharmed under the protection of her demonic armor, she could no longer cast spells and could only angrily retaliate.
Li Xiangdong hadn't anticipated the enemy's tenacity and underestimated the strength of the Pai Sect. He discovered that despite heavy casualties, the enemy fought relentlessly, with reinforcements constantly arriving. It seemed the battle would continue. Enraged, he let out a fierce roar and retrieved the Lustful Prison Soul-Locking Flag, which fluttered in the wind. The
moment the demonic flag appeared, the battlefield situation reversed. Ghostly shadows loomed all around, many indistinct figures appearing from nowhere, swarming towards the Pai Sect members. Anyone touched by these shadows was instantly gripped by excruciating pain; some collapsed from the agony, while others were slaughtered by the demonic army. Rows of Pai Sect members fell, unable to withstand the relentless onslaught of the demonic forces.
Seeing Li Xiangdong summon evil spirits to aid him, Wang Jie and the others also unleashed their demonic magic. A fierce wind arose, darkening the sky and earth, followed by the emergence of hordes of demonic beasts. Although not as powerful as the evil spirits, these beasts still caused the Pai Sect members to wail and scream in utter disarray.
Seeing this, Wu Huasheng was greatly alarmed. He waved his precious handkerchief repeatedly, driving away the surrounding evil spirits. At the same time, he gave orders, sending two experts who had joined him in attacking Li Xiangdong to come to his aid.
These two experts from the Pai Sect also wielded precious handkerchiefs. Without their assistance, Wu Huasheng would not have had such an easy time. Thanks to their use of the handkerchiefs to exorcise evil spirits, he was able to temporarily stabilize his position. However, the demonic aura was too strong, and the Pai Sect's defeat was inevitable.
Without the assistance of his two experts, Wu Huasheng felt the pressure increasing greatly when several houses suddenly caught fire one after another. The elderly, weak, women, and children who had not participated in the battle fled in disarray, further distracting him and causing him to secretly lament his misfortune.
Li Xiangdong had been waiting for this moment. Knowing that Yao Fengzhu had finally made her move, he snorted coldly, issued an order through telepathy, and secretly gathered his power to kill Wu Huasheng instantly.
Having withstood the attack of Xingyunzi's seven crystal balls, Li Xiangdong appeared unharmed, but he was actually slightly injured. During his fight with Wu Huasheng, he hadn't delivered a fatal blow, partly to allow himself to recover, and partly to wait for Yao Fengzhu to set the house on fire so he could kill his enemy in the chaos.
However, Yao Fengzhu's various delays and reluctance to act frustrated Li Xiangdong, preventing him from fully focusing on healing and leaving him with lingering qi stagnation and a sense of unease. Unwilling to delay any longer, he decided to deliver a fatal blow.
The opportunity arrived. Taking advantage of Wu Huasheng's dodge of the fatal kick, Li Xiangdong's left palm struck his left waist from an unbelievable angle. The force of the palm strike sent Wu Huasheng screaming as he flew backward.
Li Xiangdong unleashed his palm strike, but inwardly lamented his misfortune. His dantian had been throbbing with pain, likely aggravating his internal injuries, so he withdrew two-tenths of his power. Only after striking Wu Huasheng did he realize Wu's skill was far greater than he had anticipated. This shift in power, while inflicting serious injury, prevented him from killing Wu with a single blow.
Witnessing their leader's grievous wound, the followers of the Asura Cult lost all will to fight. Just as the massacre seemed imminent, a hundred or so people suddenly roared in and joined the battle.
These men were ragged and pale, but all were highly skilled in martial arts and fearless of demons and monsters. Seeing them, the fleeing followers turned back to fight, once again halting the Asura Cult's advance. Just
when Li Xiangdong thought victory was assured, this unexpected turn of events enraged him. He rapidly brandished the Soul-Locking Banner of Lust, chanting a soul-summoning incantation, forcing the demons to regroup and launch a full-scale attack.
Under Li Xiangdong's personal command, the evil spirits of the Lustful Prison formed a square formation, their ghostly cries seemingly invincible, terrifying all who beheld them.
Unexpectedly, a silvery-white light suddenly appeared on the horizon, cleaving through the ghost formation. A deafening thunderclap followed, and the leading ghosts were instantly annihilated.
Li Xiangdong was shaken, unable to continue his incantation. However, lightning and thunder continued to strike, countless ghostly figures vanished, and the remaining ones scattered and routed.
The morale of the Pai Sect members was boosted, and they repelled several demonic armies. Even the rampaging Iron Corpse was sent flying several feet by the powerful internal force of the three elders, crashing to the ground.
During the second flash of lightning, Li Xiangdong already knew things were going badly. He hurriedly used magic to summon the ghosts back to the Lustful Prison, but it was too late. By the time the remaining evil spirits returned, they had likely lost most of their hard-won souls.
"The Holy Maiden...it's the Holy Maiden!" Someone suddenly shouted, and the others echoed in unison, the noise making their ears ache.
Li Xiangdong was taken aback, not expecting this long-renowned adversary to suddenly appear. Seeing how easily she had defeated the evil spirits of the Lustful Prison, he knew she was a formidable enemy and dared not be careless. He quickly sent word to his men to return and await the enemy before turning to look at the direction from which the Pai Sect members were cheering.
The Pai Sect heroes were joyfully surrounding a woman in white, ignoring the retreating demon army. Judging from the reverence on their faces, the woman in white must be the world-famous Holy Maiden of Tianchi.
The Holy Maiden spoke to the crowd with her back to Li Xiangdong, so her true face was not visible. However, her full head of black hair was neatly tied together with a white ribbon and adorned with an ebony hairpin. She appeared to be quite young. Her silver-white dress was well-fitting, elegant, and ethereal. Although not flashy, it inspired a desire to take it off.
"Is this the Holy Maiden of Tianchi?" Li Xiangdong asked coldly, barely suppressing his anger.
"Indeed, the Holy Maiden of Tianchi, Li Xiangdong, your death is imminent!" an old man shouted.
"What Holy Maiden? I think she's just a shameless, filthy whore!" Li Xiangdong said cruelly.
"How dare you!" "Ignorant fiend, how dare you spout such nonsense here?" The heroes of the Pai Sect roared in anger.
"Young man, why are you speaking so rudely?" The Holy Maiden remained calm, turning around gracefully and speaking with poise.
"It's you?!" Upon seeing the Holy Maiden's face, Li Xiangdong was struck dumb and exclaimed.
"Have we met before?" The Holy Maiden took two steps forward, and when she saw Li Xiangdong's face clearly, her face paled.
"Don't you recognize me?" Li Xiangdong asked in a trembling voice. He hadn't expected her to be so beautiful. Neither her appearance nor her figure showed any signs of aging. She was like a fairy descended from heaven, exactly as he had seen in his dreams.
"Should I recognize you?" the Holy Maiden asked in surprise. She hadn't seen a single person in thirty years. Li Xiangdong was very young. Even if she had met him, he was just a child then. How could she remember?
"You've forgotten...you really have forgotten!" Li Xiangdong shouted like a madman, his face deathly pale, sending chills down one's spine.
"That's right, even if I've met him, I've forgotten. I've completely forgotten everything from before." Memories of the past suddenly flooded her mind, filling the Holy Maiden with hatred, and she blurted out.
The saintess wanted to forget the hatred of the past. The Li Xiangdong before her was a spitting image of Yu Chi Yuan, only less coarse and more handsome. The only difference was those large, wicked eyes; she felt she'd seen them somewhere before, but couldn't quite place them.
Li Xiangdong must be Yu Chi Yuan's son. Yu Chi Yuan had abused countless innocent girls back then; it wasn't surprising he left behind an illegitimate child. Judging from his actions, he was avenging his father.
"Good, very good! From now on, I'll make sure you never forget!" Li Xiangdong's voice was like that of a demon from hell.
"Are you avenging Yu Chi Yuan?" Mentioning that hateful name, the saintess felt unbearable pain, her heart breaking. Her intense hatred unconsciously transferred to Li Xiangdong, who resembled her father so closely, and she wished she could tear him to pieces.
"Yuchi Yuan? What is Yuchi Yuan?" Li Xiangdong gritted his teeth and said, "Even if it's revenge, it's revenge for myself!"
"Who has harmed you? Your actions are unforgivable, you've harmed countless people! They haven't even sought revenge yet, so why are you seeking revenge?" The Holy Maiden said sarcastically, only realizing her words were a bit too much after they left her mouth, but she didn't understand why she had suddenly lost her temper.
"Unforgivable? That's right, you poisonous woman are indeed unforgivable, I won't kill you!" Li Xiangdong muttered to himself.
"Holy Maiden, stop arguing with this brat, just kill him!" "You brat, if you know what's good for you, surrender and let the Holy Maiden decide your fate, otherwise I'll dismember you and grind your bones to dust." The conversation between the two left the crowd somewhat confused and bewildered, and they couldn't help but shout in a cacophony of noise.
"You sons of bitches, this is no place for you to talk!" Li Xiangdong roared angrily.
"Even a son of a bitch has a mother, which is much better than you, a stinking brat without parents," someone sneered.
These words struck a nerve with Li Xiangdong, igniting a furious rage. He raised his hand and unleashed a beam of azure light, shooting towards the man with lightning speed.
"Don't retreat…!" the Holy Maiden cried out, somehow managing to intercept the azure light Li Xiangdong had unleashed.
Li Xiangdong was secretly shocked. He knew that the demonic fire he had just unleashed was the culmination of his life's work, capable of devouring its target relentlessly until death. He hadn't expected the Holy Maiden to intercept it so easily; this battle was one he couldn't afford to be careless.
Although the Holy Maiden had intercepted the demonic fire, her shock was no less than Li Xiangdong's. It turned out that Yuchi Yuan had also used demonic fire back then, but his power seemed inferior to Li Xiangdong's. If it weren't for her magic's ability to counter Asura magic, she would have been captured long ago.
"You wicked woman, do you dare to fight me one-on-one to the death?" Despite lacking confidence, Li Xiangdong, consumed by hatred, shouted as if he had lost his mind.
"Very well, a battle between us is inevitable!" The Holy Maiden nodded to the crowd behind her and said, "Everyone, step back a hundred paces
." "You all step back two hundred paces as well," Li Xiangdong waved his hand.
Knowing they couldn't help, the crowd retreated as instructed. The Pai Sect members remained on high alert, wary of Li Xiangdong's tricks. Although the Asura demons were puzzled as to why Li Xiangdong wanted them to retreat, they dared not disobey.
"Come on," the Holy Maiden said calmly, standing serenely in the cleared space after both sides had retreated.
Li Xiangdong conjured the Azure Dragon Demon Sword, twirling it with a showy flourish. Suddenly, the sky darkened, the bright moon was obscured by clouds, a strong wind arose, dust billowed, forming a dust storm
that rose and disappeared into the dark sky.
"Everyone, step back a little!" the Holy Maiden said anxiously.
The members of the Pai Sect knew Li Xiangdong had used sorcery and hurriedly retreated. However, they couldn't get far before a deafening roar came from the sky, and countless stones suddenly rained down, each as large as a millstone, covering an area of hundreds of feet in diameter. The rain of stones was overwhelming, leaving no way to escape.
Just as the roar began, the Holy Maiden unfolded her form, gracefully circling the area, waving her long sleeves and sending forth fragrant breezes. It was a beautiful sight, and Li Xiangdong stared, his eyes wide, no longer activating his magic, letting the stones fall.
Strangely enough, the stones, initially enormous, vanished without a trace just a few feet above the Holy Maiden's head. Some with keen eyes saw the boulders turn to dust, and not a single one landed within the circle the Holy Maiden had walked through.
Although the area within the circle remained unscathed, over a dozen stones landed outside. Some people, unable to escape in time, were crushed into a bloody pulp by the boulders—of course, they couldn't survive. Others, though not directly hit, left deep craters in the ground, a sight that left onlookers speechless.
"Li Xiangdong, why do you harm so many innocent people?" the Holy Maiden roared angrily. Besides her anger, she was also secretly astonished. It turned out that Yuchi Yuan had also unleashed a rain of stones that day, though the stones weren't as large as Li Xiangdong's, and the area covered was also less. She hadn't expected that after decades of arduous cultivation, she was still inferior, and had even injured people.
"Which of the nine gangs and thirteen sects is innocent?" Li Xiangdong sneered. "And who told them not to run far?"
At this moment, the members of the Pai Sect, without waiting for the Holy Maiden's orders, continued to retreat, moving further away from the battlefield. They could still see, but could no longer hear clearly.
"Li Xiangdong, you indiscriminately kill innocent people; you will surely be punished by heaven!" the Holy Maiden cursed, secretly resolving that if she could, she would do anything to kill this monster.
"Divine retribution? A wicked woman like you hasn't been punished by heaven yet. What's the big deal about killing some beasts worse than pigs and dogs!" Li Xiangdong said coldly.
"Wicked woman? Just how wicked am I?" the Holy Maiden asked resentfully.
"I'll tell you..." Li Xiangdong didn't finish his sentence. The demonic sword flew out of his hand, transforming into a ferocious blue dragon that lunged at the Holy Maiden with murderous intent.
The Holy Maiden didn't panic. She deftly pulled out the hairpin from her hair and pointed it at herself. The blue dragon immediately cowered and stopped, only circling around the Holy Maiden, unable to harm her in the slightest.
Li Xiangdong was secretly astonished. He knew that what she was using now was no ordinary illusion. Although the azure dragon was indeed a manifestation of the demonic sword, its essence came from the Western Heaven Poison Dragon. If the demonic scripture within the Xuanwu Staff hadn't been returned intact, it would have been difficult to control. Seeing how easily she was doing it, it seemed he was about to retreat empty-handed again.
While he pondered, the Western Heaven Poison Dragon had already spewed out a purplish-black poisonous mist, enveloping him from head to toe, his entire body submerged in the dense mist. This mist was extremely poisonous; even a tiny touch would cause skin to fester, excruciating pain to the bone marrow, and only after the internal organs had rotted away would death result.
Li Xiangdong tensely focused, waiting for the Holy Maiden to cry out in pain from the poison before withdrawing his demonic magic and capturing her. Only then could he give her an antidote.
Unexpectedly, there was no movement within the fog. After a while, the Holy Maiden's delicate shout was heard, followed by the fog dissipating and the fog clearing, restoring clarity to the full moon overhead, which shone as brightly as ever. Then, with a clang, the Western Heavenly Poison Dragon transformed back into the Azure Dragon Demon Sword and fell to the ground.
Li Xiangdong cursed and hurriedly recalled the Demon Sword. Finding it undamaged, he breathed a sigh of relief but did not use it again, instead putting it away. He continued to unleash eighteen different spells, wave after wave, attacking the Holy Maiden relentlessly.
The Holy Maiden calmly deflected each attack, and although her clothes were soaked with sweat, she remained completely unharmed, much to the delight of the Pai Sect members.
"Li Xiangdong, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" The Holy Maiden secretly wiped away a bead of sweat, knowing that her magic was more than enough to protect herself than to defeat him. If it weren't for her ability to use stillness to control movement and her innate ability to counter Asura's demonic arts, she would probably have already been defeated. If Li
Xiangdong acted recklessly, even if she survived, the rest of the Pai Sect would be dead without a trace. "Let me show you my martial arts!" Li Xiangdong was also exhausted and knew that magic alone would not be enough to subdue her, so he decided to make a move.
"Then be careful!" This time, the Holy Maiden was not going to give up the initiative. With a flick of her flowing sleeves, she silently sent out two bursts of energy, and then she lightly rose into the air, like a swift wind and lightning, swooping down on Li Xiangdong's head like a large bird.
Li Xiangdong was a seasoned fighter, having encountered many masters before. Never before had anyone dared to be so arrogant, knowing his origins. Seeing the Holy Maiden suspended high in the air, completely vulnerable, he sneered inwardly. He raised his hand to receive the incoming force, discovering that her skill was slightly inferior to his. He crossed his palms, waiting for her to fall before attacking.
Unexpectedly, the Holy Maiden didn't come down; she seemed to fly, launching her attack mid-air. She had used the technique of borrowing force against force.
Li Xiangdong, naturally undaunted, raised his palm to receive the attack, and thus began an unprecedented and fierce battle.
This battle truly changed the weather, dimmed the moon and stars. Both fighters possessed profound skill, unleashing countless unexpected moves in a breathtaking display of skill. They exchanged over a thousand blows, yet the victor remained undecided. Both sides watched with rapt attention, cheering endlessly. Centuries later, it was still a topic of much discussion.
After a fierce battle, Li Xiangdong had exchanged many blows with the Holy Maiden and was convinced that her skill was inferior to his own. However, her moves were exquisite, and her internal energy was inexhaustible. He thought to himself, no wonder Yuchi Yuan had to fight her for three days and three nights before he could capture her alive.
Li Xiangdong didn't want to kill the Holy Maiden so easily, nor did he want to continue the battle and waste time. He was truly racking his brains.
With this thought, the Holy Maiden suddenly twisted her palms together, pushing her left palm forward while pressing her right palm against the back of her own hand, an unusual stance.
Li Xiangdong parried the blow and saw the Holy Maiden's body tremble. Just as he was about to use the momentum to launch an attack, he realized that a second surge of internal energy was coming, combining with the remaining force of the previous palm strike, making it even more terrifying. He had no choice but to temporarily halt his attack and parry again.
The Holy Maiden let out a delicate shout, took a step to the left, and continued to strike. After she gracefully took twelve steps and unleashed twelve palm strikes, she had achieved her goal.
The true power unleashed by those twelve palm strikes seemed inescapable, merging seamlessly with subsequent strikes, leaving the opponent overwhelmed. The final strike, combining the residual power of the previous twelve, was earth-shattering, finally causing Li Xiangdong to cough up blood and stagger back seven steps, seemingly unable to stand.
The heroes of the Pai Sect erupted in cheers, their excitement boundless. Many shouted and begged the Holy Maiden to slay the demons, believing that if the enemy formation hadn't shown no signs of panic and hadn't been so terrified, some would have seized the opportunity to charge in and annihilate the enemy.
Within the Asura Formation, everything appeared calm, seemingly unaffected, mainly because the demonic soldiers were indifferent, unaware of life or death. In reality, some were already considering retreat.
The Holy Maiden coldly observed the silent Li Xiangdong, diligently gathering her power, preparing for a fatal blow.
At this moment, Li Xiangdong understood: from the beginning of the fight, the Holy Maiden had deliberately concealed her strength, waiting for him to become complacent before unleashing those strange thirteen palm strikes, luring him into a direct confrontation.
Unfortunately, he was first injured by Xingyunzi and had no time to heal. When he realized he was caught in the trap, although he fought with all his might, he aggravated his injuries and could not withstand the strange thirteen palms. As a result, he was seriously injured and had no strength left to fight.
The Holy Maiden finally took a step towards Li Xiangdong. Seeing her eyebrows raised and her face filled with murderous intent, it seemed that Li Xiangdong could not escape.
"Li Xiuxin, you are so ruthless!" Li Xiangdong gasped for breath.
"What...?" The Holy Maiden was startled and stopped in her tracks.
Li Xiuxin was the Holy Maiden's given name. After cultivating with Elder Daxiong, she no longer used this name. When she helped the thirteen sects in the past, she only called herself a cultivator from Tianchi and did not reveal her real name. Later, everyone called her the Holy Maiden.
"Li Xiuxin, you vicious woman with a heart of a snake and scorpion, you couldn't put me to death thirty years ago, and now you want to kill me again?" Li Xiangdong stared at the Holy Maiden and said through gritted teeth.
"What...what are you saying?" the Holy Maiden asked in a trembling voice. She finally remembered that Li Xiangdong might have learned her name from Yu Chi Yuan.
She recalled the day she fell into Yu Chi Yuan's hands, suffering terribly and being forced to reveal her maiden name. Could it be that Ding Ling's prediction was correct? Was Yu Chi Yuan still alive, clinging to life, and had sent this Li Xiangdong to avenge him?
"You've forgotten...you've forgotten again...!" Li Xiangdong stared intently at the Holy Maiden, a bitter smile on his face. "You can actually forget the tragedy at the Cold Pool? You're truly utterly depraved!"
"Cold Pool!?" The Holy Maiden's heart trembled, and she cried out in disbelief.
"That's right, that day it was pouring rain, and you walked naked into the Cold Pool..." Li Xiangdong said grimly.
"How...how did you know?" the Holy Maiden screamed uncontrollably.
How could the Holy Maiden forget that day!
That day, she had been washing in the icy pool for days, scrubbing herself countless times, yet it seemed she couldn't wash away the filth from her body. After discovering she was pregnant with a demonic seed, she forcibly used her internal energy to expel the wicked child, resulting in severe blood loss and unconsciousness in the water. If it weren't for Abbess Jingwu's concern and secret pursuit, she probably would have drowned. It was because of her life-saving grace that she passed down the Gratitude Token.
"I know... I know everything!" Li Xiangdong shouted frantically, "Tell me, is there any other mother in the world as heartless as you?"
"Mother? What did you say?" the Holy Maiden cried out urgently.
"I'm talking about you, you are my mother, why are you so heartless, trying to kill me?" Li Xiangdong cried out hysterically.
"No... no!" the Holy Maiden said, taking a step back in terror.
"Yes... yes!" Li Xiangdong shouted, suddenly lunging forward like a ghost, pointing a finger at the Holy Maiden's soft, numb acupoint.
"Shameless scoundrel!" The onlookers were shocked to see Li Xiangdong suddenly launch a sneak attack after exchanging a few words with the Holy Maiden. However, they were too far away to help in time.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden was shaken. How could she possibly dodge this finger strike? But her skill was profound. She managed to shift her focus and break free from her fate of being restrained. Instinctively, she thrust out both palms simultaneously, releasing the true energy she had been accumulating for a long time.
After a loud bang, Li Xiangdong was sent flying several feet backward, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. He then disappeared into the darkness under the protection of the demon army.
The Holy Maiden didn't give chase. She weakly sat down on the spot, circulating her qi to regulate her breathing. Although she had repelled Li Xiangdong, the force of the recoil had caused her blood and qi to churn, and her heart to ache. If she didn't regulate her breathing immediately, her internal organs would be damaged.
＊＊＊＊
When the Holy Maiden finished regulating her breathing, it was already dawn. When she opened her beautiful eyes, the first thing she encountered was the anxious gaze of Ding Ling and Abbess Jingwu. Then she saw Dafang from Shaolin and Sangshu, the leader of the Beggars' Sect.
"Holy Maiden, how are you?" Ding Ling asked anxiously.
"I'm fine…why are you all here too?" the Holy Maiden sighed.
"It's damp and cold here, let's go inside and talk," Jingwu said with concern.
It turned out that after parting ways with the Holy Maiden, Ding Ling immediately sent people to report to various sects. They met at Shaolin. Jingwu and Sangshu arrived first. Knowing that the Holy Maiden had gone to Guanzhong alone, they volunteered to come and meet her. Dajue also sent Dafang to lead his disciples to reinforce her, while he stayed behind to discuss matters with the sects that hadn't yet arrived.
Undeterred by hardship and overcoming mountain passes, Ding Ling and her companions traveled day and night, arriving at the Pai Sect headquarters just in time to witness the fierce battle between Li Xiangdong and the Holy Maiden.
"How is Wu Huasheng?" the Holy Maiden asked.
"He's still coughing up blood. Even if he doesn't die, he's crippled," replied an elderly man who had come with the Holy Maiden to help.
He was an elder of the Pai Sect, a staunch opponent of Wu Huasheng's dominance of the martial arts world. He and some of the sect's experts had been imprisoned by Wu Huasheng, but were rescued by the Holy Maiden. The Holy Maiden's delayed arrival until today was also for the sake of these people.
"The elders of the Dangyang Gang are unharmed. They understand that it was all Wu Huasheng and Xingyunzi's fault, but unfortunately, Xingyunzi escaped. They don't know how to bring the Dangyang Gang leader back to his senses," the Pai Sect elder continued.
"Xingyunzi escaped?" the Holy Maiden asked, frowning.
"He escaped with four disciples, two were killed in the melee, and two burned to death," the Pai Sect elder said angrily. "We suffered over a thousand casualties. If it weren't for the Holy Maiden, the Pai Sect would have been wiped out of the martial arts world."
"This Li Xiangdong is truly heinous!" Sang Shu roared.
"He should be fully culpable this time, right?" Jing Xu asked, looking at the Holy Maiden questioningly.
"It's hard to say. Although he was struck twice by my palms, he should be seriously injured, but..." the Holy Maiden hesitated.
"But what?" everyone pressed.
"He was struck by the Thirteen Strikes of Soul Severance, yet he was still able to launch a sneak attack. It seems his injuries aren't too severe. As for that later palm strike, I... I don't know where it hit, but he still had the strength to push me away. He must have used demonic arts to protect himself. Perhaps he won't die." The Holy Maiden's face turned pale as she spoke, seemingly lost in thought.
"Isn't the Thirteen Soul-Severing Strikes supposed to kill anyone who hits it?!" Ding Ling exclaimed. The Thirteen Soul-Severing Strikes were a martial art created by the Holy Maiden specifically to counter Yu Chi Yuan's skills. It was incredibly powerful and should have been fatal to anyone hit.
"But it didn't kill him..." the Holy Maiden said, her expression complex.
"He definitely won't survive! I saw him vomit blood twice, and he couldn't even run. Bai Shan Jun carried him away," the Pai Sect elder shouted.
"The Holy Maiden's subsequent palm strike hit his chest and abdomen; that's a vital spot. How could he withstand that?" Da Fang nodded.
"Is he dead?" the Holy Maiden asked
blankly. "I didn't see it clearly, but I think I saw him look back when he was on Bai Shan Jun's back..." Ding Ling asked hesitantly.
"Why did he look back?" the Holy Maiden exclaimed urgently.
"I don't know, it was too far away to see clearly," Ding Ling said shamefully.
"I've already sent people to hunt them down. If we find their whereabouts, we can eliminate them completely," the Pai Sect elder said excitedly.
"If we could find them, that would be the best course of action, but they are skilled in
demonic arts and have likely already fled far away," Ding Ling said, shaking her head. "Finding them wouldn't help. Even without Li Xiangdong, we alone cannot deal with those demonic armies," Sang Shu said frankly.
"If we could find them, I could mobilize the government troops to encircle and annihilate them," Ding Ling said thoughtfully. "The concern is Li Xiangdong..."
"With the Holy Maiden in charge, why should we fear him?" Jing Xu said confidently.
"If we encounter him again, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I might not be able to escape unscathed," the Holy Maiden said sadly.
"What?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Although his demonic arts are no less than those of Yu Chi Yuan back then, I can still handle him," the Holy Maiden said with a forlorn expression. "As for martial arts, his internal strength is only slightly inferior to mine, yet he was injured by me. This was because I deliberately concealed my strength, which gave me the opportunity to use the Thirteen Soul-Severing Strikes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought me head-on."
"So, he still can't beat the Holy Maiden," Sang Shu said with relief.
"I don't know..." the Holy Maiden sighed softly, "But he's seriously injured. Without a rare treasure like a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, he probably won't recover easily."
"These treasures are extremely rare. Does he have such good fortune?" Jingxu said sullenly.
"Unless he's dead, his demonic arts are still formidable," Dingling said seriously.
"With the Holy Maiden dealing with him, we can focus on dealing with his gang. Once we've removed his henchmen, he can't do evil anymore," Dafang laughed.
"Is Yuchi Yuan... really dead?" the Holy Maiden suddenly asked out of the blue.
"Dead! The nine gangs and thirteen sects who participated in the incident took turns verifying his identity, and finally threw his body off a cliff. It's no wonder he's dead," Sangshu said confidently.
"The Holy Maiden hasn't discovered anything, has she?" Dingling asked curiously.
"...No." The Holy Maiden paused, then shook her head blankly.
"Holy Maiden, although we may not be able to find the whereabouts of those demonic disciples, I think we should make plans as soon as possible. What do you think?" Ding Ling asked, unaware of anything amiss.
"That's to be expected, but..." The Holy Maiden's face turned cold, and she looked up, saying, "Who is that up there? Come down." "
Yao Fengzhu from Jiangdu, a woman in distress, begs for the Holy Maiden's mercy!" A woman dressed in a tight-fitting outfit leaped down from the beam, knelt before the Holy Maiden, and cried out.
"Yao Fengzhu?" Ding Ling said vaguely.
"She is... she is also a... witch of the Asura Cult!" the woman sobbed, but she was too ashamed to admit that she was also a lustful witch.
"Witch?" the crowd exclaimed in surprise, and the elder of the Pai Cult couldn't contain himself and grabbed his weapon.
This young woman was Yao Fengzhu. She was ordered by Li Xiangdong to secretly infiltrate behind enemy lines, intending to set fires to disrupt the morale of the Pai Sect. However, she discovered that the house contained many women and children, and setting fire to it would cause heavy casualties. Therefore, she made excuses to delay. Later, forced into a corner, she chose a few insignificant spots to attack; otherwise, the Pai Sect's casualties would have been even greater.
After witnessing the Holy Maiden's great victory over Li Xiangdong, Yao Fengzhu thought the opportunity was too good to pass up. Pretending not to have received Li Xiangdong's orders, she retreated with the others, secretly hiding and waiting for the right moment to plead with the Holy Maiden for help, hoping to escape the clutches of evil. Unexpectedly, the opportunity hadn't arrived before the Holy Maiden discovered her.
"What brings you here?" the Holy Maiden asked calmly, waving her hand to stop the Pai Sect elders from acting rashly.
"This woman has come to surrender..." Yao Fengzhu first succinctly stated Li Xiangdong's telepathic message and the miraculous teleportation, then said in a flustered manner, "Please, Holy Maiden, use your magic first to prevent the demons from spying and eavesdropping, and then allow me to report slowly."
"Don't worry, wherever I go, I will first protect myself with magic to prevent the demons from invading. If it weren't for the fact that you have no ill intentions, I would have already been unable to hide." The Holy Maiden nodded understandingly, then said to Ding Ling, "You should also do this when you have discussions."
"Yes, this junior has learned something." Ding Ling said shyly.
Everyone seemed to already know that the Holy Maiden intended for Ding Ling to take charge of the overall situation, and they didn't find it strange. Instead, they all cast encouraging glances at Ding Ling, increasing her confidence in fighting against the Asura Sect.
"This unfortunate woman has had a terrible fate. First, she was humiliated by the Poison Dragon Master, then she fell into Li Xiangdong's hands and was forced to become his accomplice, aiding and abetting evil..." Yao Fengzhu suppressed her emotions and recounted her past with tears in her eyes.
Because there were still men present, such as Sang Shu, Yao Fengzhu could only speak lightly and vaguely. Even so, everyone listened with trepidation and speechlessness.
"You... why didn't you take advantage of the time you were out on business with Li Xiangdong to abandon your evil ways and join the good cause? Why did you delay until now?" Sang Shu asked hesitantly, as if afraid of hurting this poor woman.
“Although I act alone, I am constantly under his surveillance. How could I dare to act rashly? Moreover, he has the Life Lamp in my hands, and I could die at any moment. I would rather be dead than live, but my life is a small matter. I fear I will be trapped in the Prison of Lust and never be reincarnated.” Yao Fengzhu said with tears streaming down her face, “I also wrote a letter in blood…”
Upon hearing the name Prison of Lust, Dafang and the others knew it was no place to be trifled with. They exchanged glances but did not pursue the matter further.
“So you wrote the letter in blood!” Jingwu suddenly realized.
“If the Holy Maiden were not here, I would not have dared to betray Li Xiangdong…” Yao Fengzhu said with tears in her eyes, “I have no will to live. I risked appearing here, hoping to do my part to eliminate the demon. After it is done, I will have no face to live in this world.”
“Child, it is truly difficult for you.” The Holy Maiden said sympathetically.
“Sister Fengzhu, Li Xiangdong just ordered the return of the Demon Palace. Where exactly is the Demon Palace?” Ding Ling had an idea and asked softly.
"The Demon Palace seems to be everywhere. It is said that there are eighteen entrances and exits in the world. The maiden only knows a few of them. The closest one is thirty miles outside Guanzhong City. He must have escaped back to the Demon Palace from there," Yao Fengzhu replied sadly.
"Excellent!" Ding Ling said with great joy, "Holy Maiden, I want to go to Guanzhong to mobilize troops. Please lead us to attack the Demon Palace and wipe out those demons in one fell swoop."
"This..." The Holy Maiden was eager to know Li Xiangdong's fate, but she was also afraid to face him. However, the matter was urgent, and she could not refuse. She resolutely said, "Alright, go." "
There is no time to lose. Let me immediately gather the followers and set off with everyone," the old man of the Pai Sect said, rubbing his fists.
"What's the rush? Even if you could mobilize the government troops, they wouldn't arrive at a moment's notice," Sang Shu laughed loudly.
"The army will take at least three days to set off. I will inform everyone to help when that time comes," Ding Ling nodded.
"Were those witches who appeared tonight forced into submission like you?" the Holy Maiden asked. Although it was already daylight and a new day had begun, the harrowing night of the full moon seemed far from over.
"The Heavenly Fox Demoness is Heavenly Fox Beauty, the Three Wonderful Witches is Red Butterfly..." Yao Fengzhu glanced at Ding Ling and said
softly , "And the Immortal Witch Li Hua, the wife of Lord Baishan, I think they truly serve Li Xiangdong."
"Red Butterfly!?" Ding Ling exclaimed in surprise.
"The Zombie Witches are Fang Peijun of the New Moon Alliance and the Lustful Witch Liu Qingping, whose whereabouts are currently unknown. They also suffered terribly, forced into submission." Yao Fengzhu continued.
"And what kind of witch are you?" Jingwu asked curiously.
"Difficult Woman... Difficult Woman is the Lustful Witch!" Yao Fengzhu said with heartache.
"Then... what is that?" Jingwu pressed.
"Holy Maiden, this old monk is a little tired, I won't disturb you any longer." Seeing Dafang's troubled expression, Dafang tactfully excused himself.
"Yes, we should avoid them too," Sang Shu and the old man from the Pai Sect nodded in agreement.
***
Li Xiangdong was indeed seriously injured. He vomited blood twice on the way back, and when he returned to the Demon Palace, he was unable to regulate his internal energy on his own. Half-dead, he had someone fetch him some elixirs. After taking the medicine, he lay in bed for half a day before he could finally sit up on the bed with Rina's help.
"Master, you should lie down and rest. Don't strain yourself," Rina said, her eyes red.
"Yes, don't worry, we returned using the Divine Speed Technique. They can't catch up with us, let alone find our movements," Wang Jie comforted him.
"Yes, let's talk about it later," Bai Shanjun and Hongdie also advised, while Meiji and Fang Peijun were at a loss.
"Fengzhu... has Fengzhu returned?" Li Xiangdong asked breathlessly.
"No, she's hiding somewhere," Hongdie said, pouting.
"Tell her in your mind... run faster," Li Xiangdong said weakly, feeling utterly exhausted and unable to speak more.
"...She...she didn't answer," Wang Jie said in surprise after using telepathy.
"Bring the mirror..." Li Xiangdong said, his face turning cold.
"She must be trying to escape the pursuers, that's why she didn't answer. Let's wait a little longer," Lina said, understanding that Li Xiangdong was about to use the teleportation technique to track Yao Fengzhu's movements, and pleading on his behalf so he could rest more.
"Don't talk too much...!" Li Xiangdong snapped.
As he spoke, Hongdie had already brought the mirror and placed it by the bedside.
Li Xiangdong took a deep breath, closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, and after a while, began chanting the incantation.
"Huh... there's nothing there!" After Li Xiangdong finished his spell, Hongdie saw that the mirror was completely black and asked in surprise, "Master, are you... are you too tired?"
"No..." Li Xiangdong said wearily, "She's either dead or she's hiding somewhere."
"Dead?" Rina exclaimed.
"That wretched woman is really something. If it weren't for her, we would have won a great victory long ago." Baishanjun said angrily.
"That wretched woman..." Li Xiangdong was so angry that he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, cursing, "I won't forgive her!"
"Master, please take care!" Rina hurriedly grabbed a fragrant handkerchief, wiped the bloodstains from Li Xiangdong's lips, and cried out anxiously with tears streaming down her face.
"Where is Meiji? And where is Peijun?" Being sick, he was particularly weak. Li Xiangdong nodded gratefully and continued to ask.
"Mei-hime returned with us, but we don't know where she went," Bai Shan-jun replied. "Pei-jun, however, seems to be nowhere to be seen."
"Should we ask them where they are?" Wang Jie asked.
"No need..." Li Xiang-dong sneered.
Not long after, Mei-hime's image appeared in the mirror.
Mei-hime was in the palace, seemingly searching for something, touching left and right, looking around the palace. She was covered in sweat, as if she had been searching for a long time.
"What is she looking for?" Hong-die asked, puzzled.
"Bitch..." Li Xiang-dong cursed angrily, saying, "Wang Jie, tell her to come back and serve you."
Wang Jie obeyed and sent a telepathic message. Not long after, Mei-hime appeared with a look of fear on her face.
